Cephalexin and Xiidra drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Cephalexin (cephalexin) and Xiidra (lifitegrast). Common drug interactions include asthenia among females and death among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Cephalexin and Xiidra. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 37 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

How the study uses the data?
The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on cephalexin and lifitegrast (the active ingredients of Cephalexin and Xiidra, respectively), and Cephalexin and Xiidra (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
